I'm A Grinder. I'll Beat You Because

My Experience Over The Years With Working With People Who Are Not Actors Or Not Trained Actors Is That You Have To Get To Know Them Well Enough To See What They Have That's Translatable Onto The Screen. So You're Constantly Calibrating To Play To Their Strengths. And The Key Is To Never Ask Them To Do Things That Are Beyond Their Abilities Or Are Really Far Away From Who They Are At Their Core.

Reality Shows Are All The Rage On Tv At The Moment, But Thats Not Reality, Its Just Another Aesthetic Form Of Fiction.

We're All Standing On The Shoulders Of What Other People Have Done. But You're Supposed To Take That And Add Your Own Sauce. It Can Be Intimidating, Believe Me.

Nobody's Talking About Movies The Way They're Talking About Their Favorite Tv Shows.

I Think '60s Are Appealing To Creative People, Because It Seemed To Be A Time Of Endless Possibilities, When The Boundaries Of What Could Be Considered Popular Culture Were Being Expanded Almost By The Week. It Doesn't Feel Like That Anymore. At Times, I Wish It Were So. Radio Is A Perfect Example; Good God, I Mean, Back Then The Most Interesting Songs Were Also Hits, And That's Just Not True Anymore. It Hasn't Been True In A Long Time.
